We have previously talked about I Want to Eat Your Pancreas on the SAC OVA, so this time we watched the anime film to see how it compares to the manga and the light novel. We discuss how this version of it might be the best way to introduce yourself to the story, talk about the dub cast, and how I almost died laughing too hard at one particular scene, which is not expected for a story as sad as this one. Spoilers, of course!

We had a really busy December, and so now Jared and I decided to do a grab bag and discuss things that we have watched, played, or read in the last month or so. This is a random assortment–from manga, Kdramas, anime, and Pokemon. It ticks all the boxes of our tagline and more!

What better way to start a new year than by talking about my game of the year from 2019!?! So this week, Jared and I discuss the story of the game, which moments stood out, the changes that were made, how Rean has taken up the thankless profession of teaching, and where we think ToCS 4 and beyond might go.
Leave a CommentWe’re back with another year of games and life under the belt, for better or for worse. I’ve played what could be considered a decent amount of games this year, and now I get to rank them! My list is, of course, the end all be all of games of the year lists. I will say, the games that I put as my top 4 could easily be GOTY. They’re all that damn good. So let’s get started with this GOTY train!1Also, be sure to check out Jared’s list here, and the SAC OVA podcast here.
Subtle art there, y’all. Totally not Harrison Ford. Anyway, we’re here with our annual holiday podcast, and this year we are playing a game that takes place around Christmas. We played Snatcher, which is one of Hideo Kojima‘s non-Metal Gear games. We discuss how it’s a copy/paste job of Blade Runner, what parts of it are really gross and bad, how the OST is actually boss, and I just suffer. A lot.
This week, Jared and I are looking to the future to talk about what will be coming out in the world of video games and anime in 2020. *Disclaimer–as always, this was recorded before the Game Awards, so this doesn’t include any content announced there.

It’s the end of a decade! Jared and I decided to break down our favorite games from the 2010s. We start with some honorable mentions, talk about our personal top 10s (in no particular order), then we rank the ones we had that overlapped. There have been some dang good video games this decade, y’all!

This week, Jared and I decided to have a mixed medium podcast. First, we played through the definitely not online co-op game, Old Man’s Journey. We moved a bunch of platforms, yelled at sheep and the old man, and got on several boats while trying to uncover the story. Second, we watched the live action adaptation film of Hyouka, and we discuss how it could easily be mistaken for a horror film.
